I learned from Angers that Grammer Sigurd was a jewel of the Sigurd family, and even though she had an older brother, she was the rightful heir to the family.
Passing down the throne to daughters but not sons, and to younger siblings but not the legitimate heir, is an incredibly unbelievable thing anywhere.
It happened in a family like Sigurd's that has been passed down for over a thousand years, which reflects just how outstanding this person is!
If Grammer Sigurd hadn't been so well disguised, Cao Han could only say that the targets of this hunting mission weren't all heinous villains; there might also be some good people among them.
Whether it's completed or not depends entirely on the individual's judgment within the dormitory.
How did you find out about Grammer?
"I just heard about it by chance."
"No way? I said I wasn't interested in introducing you to Elizabeth, could it be... But with your abilities, you'd be a perfect match for Grammer." Angers, ever the shameless old man, teased.
"It's such a waste that you don't act as a matchmaker. You're always trying to bring people together, whether you've met them or not." Cao Han was deeply embarrassed.
Regardless, given his understanding and appreciation of Angers, there's no reason why the other party would intentionally conceal anything from him.
A target rated as four-star by "Brother Tongzi" is naturally no ordinary person, so Cao Han could only reluctantly give up the 120 free attribute points for the four-star hunting mission.
When Cao Han asked to return to school early, Angers looked thoughtful. "Cao Han, if I remember correctly, you entered the school at the beginning of last month, right?"
"Yes."
"So, all told, you probably didn't attend many classes, right?"
"Hmm...right?" What Cao Han didn't say was that Principal Angers was being too conservative. He didn't say he hadn't attended many classes; he hadn't even looked at the timetable.
The few classes I attended were mostly skill-based courses like close combat and kendo. As for theoretical courses...
It's likely that even the instructors don't know what this student, who has the highest bloodline rating in the school's history, looks like.
As the saying goes: "Those who observe from the sidelines become stained red, and those who associate with ink become stained black!" (A joke from a former IG jungler)
Cao Han, who was close to Fingel, was also deeply affected. He was basically indifferent to theory classes, and even the only class he was interested in, the Word Magic class, has not been attended by him since due to an accident.
As the principal of Kassel College, Angers could not possibly know the learning situation of every student, but he could certainly get a sense of the learning situation of the "S+" level outstanding students.
"If you're going back to school, just a few days ago several professors asked me about you, saying they wanted to add your name to the final exams."
Previously, I would tell the professors that I was carrying out a highly classified mission...
"Now I should be able to catch up with the exams for these courses. Given the excellence of an S+ level student, I believe they should be able to pass smoothly even without having attended a single class."
What a powerful Onmyoji!
Cao Han never expected that Principal Angers, who usually appeared to be an elegant gentleman, would have such a side to him, and yet he couldn't refute it.
"I heard that you get GPA points for completing missions, right?"
If theory doesn't work, then practice makes up for it.
"That's true, but Cao Han, you probably haven't read the student handbook we sent you carefully, have you?"
"Student handbook?" Cao Han was taken aback. There did seem to be such a booklet, but he had never opened it after receiving it and it had been lying quietly in the drawer.
"According to the regulations, the extra GPA points earned by students through completing tasks can only be used to make up for the GPA points of elective courses."
Think about why a required course is called a required course.
You can only graduate if you successfully pass all the required courses.
Upon hearing this, Cao Han breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought Principal Angers was going to say something, but it turned out to be about graduation.
Graduation is something that ordinary students have to worry about. He's a "honorary board member," so it's no big deal for him!
However, Cao Han belatedly realized that something was amiss regarding Angers' open obstruction of his return to school.
There's absolutely no point in trying to reason with them. "Principal, is there something you need me to handle?"
"Did you see it?"
Cao Han suppressed the urge to roll his eyes, wanting to say that even a blind person would see it, given how obvious it was.
The debt of gratitude owed to others must be repaid once it is incurred.
Thinking of Principal Angers' cooperation with his plans in Japan, and his constant protection of him since the beginning of his enrollment, he had no choice but to patiently ask:
"Just tell me what's on your mind."
"Have you heard of the Beowulf family?" Angers didn't rush to explain what it was about, but instead suddenly asked a question.
Beowulf...
A member of the Secret Party, a dragon slayer of the Ironblood faction, the heir of the Dragonblood-loving family, and the last captain of the Secret Party's "Action Team," he was given the title "Dragonblood-loving One" by the Secret Party.
He vehemently opposed the establishment of the Kassel College by the Peruvian Party and remained within the party only as an elder thereafter.
Anyone who wants to understand the long history of the Secret Society cannot avoid the dragon-blooded family represented by Beowulf.
According to the Secret Society's "true history," Beowulf is not a single person, but an ancient dragon-slaying family. The three great feats were accomplished not by one Beowulf, but by three Beowulfs from grandfather to grandson. Their opponents were dragons and the inhuman Deadpool.
For thousands of years, the Beowulf family has been the most steadfast, brave, and ruthless dragon slayers!
They adhered to an ancient family tradition: for every boy born, they would feed him a drop of dragon blood crystal, a highly poisonous substance.
But only after passing the test of that deadly poison was the baby deemed useful by the family.
The Beowulf family was just as ruthless to their own descendants as they were to dragons, which is how they forged dragon-slaying warriors of steel.
This generation of Beowulf is over 130 years old, making him a contemporary of Angers.
"It's hard not to know, given Beowulf's illustrious reputation within the Secret Service."
"That's true, but don't completely trust those records. The current Beowulf is a stubborn old man who has some conflict with our ideas."
Angers felt a headache coming on just thinking about that stubborn old man who was as unyielding as a rock.
Every time these old friends who have worked side by side for many years contact each other, they start arguing over differences in their beliefs.
Beowulf scoffed at Angers' "gentle" approach of following Meneke Kassel's wishes to transform the Secret Service into the Kassel College.
They believed that this method would not produce dragon-slaying warriors.
"Ideological conflict?"
"That's all ancient history from our previous generation. You young people don't need to know too much about it. To put it bluntly, it's a lack of recognition of the school's educational philosophy. They believe that true dragon slayers should grow up in the midst of battle."
Cao Han declined to comment on Angers' statement, leaving the judgment of who was right and who was wrong between the two to history.
Should we just throw the hybrids directly at Deadpool or other hybrids?
This approach is more like raising poisonous insects; under the pressure of death, true geniuses will indeed quickly emerge.
But conversely, it's cruel for less gifted mixed-race individuals!
"That old man extended an invitation to you through me, wanting you to visit the Beowulf family."
"Inviting me to the Beowulf family? Why?" Cao Han was puzzled, as he shouldn't have any connection with them.
“I asked the same question, but they didn’t tell me. They just said I would understand once I went there.”
"Aren't you afraid that I'll end up fighting with them if I go there?" Cao Han retorted.
"He may have a bad temper, be sharp-tongued, and stubbornly refuse to listen to advice, but I have never doubted his determination when it comes to slaying the dragon!"
"I believe he would never do anything to hurt you." Angers patted his chest to assure him, this was the only thing he was absolutely certain of.
"Alright, then I'll make the trip." Since things had come to this point, Cao Han had no choice but to agree.
Besides, to be fair, Cao Han was also very curious about the legendary Beowulf family, and it wouldn't be bad to have the opportunity to go and see it for himself.
“Go ahead, someone will contact you when you get to England.” Angers didn’t reveal any more information.
Chapter 140 The Half-Blood King's Invitation
From Portofino to England, embark on a spontaneous trip.
With his backpack, which actually contained only a few simple changes of clothes, Cao Han was transported by helicopter to the nearest town, where he then took a train to another city to catch the nearest flight.
He did agree to Principal Angers' request to visit the Beowulf family, but he didn't say when.
As "honorary board members" and an unprecedented "S+ level" student, it would be a bit embarrassing if a large number of them failed the test.
With this in mind, Cao Han decided to prolong the journey as much as possible.
The distance from Italy to the UK is approximately 1898 kilometers, and the journey by plane takes only about two hours.
"Italy and Britain are separated by France, what a coincidence..."
Cao Han looked at the map on his phone thoughtfully. If he remembered correctly, the family headquarters of Grammer Sigurd, the target of this hunt, was located in France.
seeing is believing.
Although the information gathered from various sources suggests that the target doesn't seem to be a particularly wicked person, he wouldn't mind going to check it out himself if he had the chance to pass by.
Unlike the Beowulf family, which still holds a significant and special position within the Secret Society, the Sigurd family has adopted an increasingly low-key approach since abdicating and becoming the Elders.
Unless a supreme decision-making committee is convened, it is difficult to find their presence within the Secret Party.
Hello, where can I apply for a visa to France?
"..."
For things like visas, if Cao Han wanted to, he could easily use his connections in the executive department to get on the train first and buy the ticket later—it would be a piece of cake.
But he just wanted to travel through Italy by train in the normal way, like any other tourist.
Besides, money can make the devil turn the millstone.
With the "money" offensive paving the way, Cao Han boarded a train to London, the romantic city, the very next day.
Having deliberately chosen a window seat, he rested his chin on one hand, gazing at the peaceful scenery outside the car window.
like......
Since transmigrating to the world of dragons, the fighting and killing have never stopped. He wanted to take this rare opportunity to relax his mind and body.
"Ugh!"
A heavy sigh suddenly came from Cao Han's mouth. Sometimes it really is true that the tree wants to be still, but the wind will not stop. Even though he had tried to keep a low profile and travel like an ordinary passenger, some things were still unavoidable.
"Gentlemen, you may now state the purpose of your visit."
